just finished playing the special from the link on substar..and..damn, that's what i want to see. more content like this, but in the game. sides of some of the characters that are enemies of the mc and Nicki. spoiler incoming.
i loved seeing the consequences of Brent's actions fucking his life up completely. he is such a delusional fuck. loved seeing him get cucked by his coworker and his imaginary gf. best scene by far is when he is dreaming at the beginning and mc has Nicki sucking him off and calls him a cuck..made me laugh out loud..

Wow, I had no idea Patreon is so strict and such a pain in the ass that they even monitor redirected page access...

Thank you for a very elaborate explanation, I heard something about Patreon's stricter rules but I was not aware of the details. This whole "changing stuff" thing must take a hell of a time which at the end is a time wasted but that's great that you managed to handle it somehow.

Although I'm not sure I understand why you do not want people to link your Patreon here when there is direct link to it in thread's first post and in your profile signature as well.
Yeahhh. I don't want to bellyache too much. Patreon's been very good to me, and it's their platform. So, it's up to me to use it in a way that works for all parties involved. In the meantime, I just try to make sure people know that, if they want the taboo stuff, they really need to support me over on SubStar.

As for the link in the first post -- I don't control any of that stuff. I'll suggest tags be added, but that's about it. So, I remain as hands-off with it as possible. As for my signature line, you may be right, but I kind of see the sig as a neutral zone, since it's not like the sig itself is discussing any verboten material.

I'm glad people seem to have largely enjoyed this little diversion. The whole thing took about three days to make, from writing, to rendering, to inserting the code. Three long days, but still.. So, I'd like to experiment with this format to show a lot of corners of the game that Guy/MC wasn't there for. Or things he would be there for, that don't really require us to see his whole day. Like, a simple date with one of the girls you're actively dating, or Guy meeting with someone who's requested his organization's help, but doesn't really fit into the main game.

Man i gotta say, i really appreciate the amount of attention you put into detail and continuity. I've used URM to see everything and there's so many small dialogue changes and even character facial expressions that'll change based off how evil you decide to be and it's not even as simple as good/bad, sometimes it'll be somewhere in the middle like neutral ground. You put effort into the game and I see it, and the only other game I've known that actually has a decent amount of content and this amount of detail in continuity is BaDIK, will definitely support.

yeah neon is one of the best at doing facial expressions imo. I normally would never play the dark path but I checked it out once an update and only read the dialogue for context and skip past the lewds and well the facial expression on Ashe if depending on your choices, makes me wonder if there is a possiblity for a redemption arc.

Hell the look Risa gave us in the car normally id write a LI like her off but something about her facial expression made me feel for her to the point, I actually want to play her path and she is in my top 3 right now until more updates with others happen.

So, will there be another way onto Risa's path? Or going down and getting the footjob the only way to start her path and if we don't we will be jist friends. I like her, but I rather not turn down either Nicki or Ashe options, so I am hoping for a alternate way onto her path, maybe in the next update.

The side character pov is a very good addition from a cinematic point of view. Some self insert type of player may can hate it but it adds variety to the game. It can be interesting to see things from other characters pov now and then, not too much just some panels showing us what others are doing and the such (y)

I wanna try all the paths in this game, but I'm unable to "force" Ashe in the alley scene.

How to I force her in the alley?

Right now, when I "kiss her" and she refuses it, there is no option to "force", there's only the option to "stop and apologize".

What do I have to do to get the "force" option?

Make sure you have the normal version game 'Friends in Need' and not the vanilla version 'Friends Indeed'. Then install the patch. All the necessary files are on the front page of this game thread. Will have to start a fresh game too to make sure the scripts work properly. Should work after that.

If you already have all that taken care of, then only other thing I can think of is the darker options might require a darker Guy, so maybe you haven't been mean enough to Ashe specifically (ashe dark points obtained from the bar interaction) or mean enough in general (MC dark points from doing dark things to anyone)? But I can't remember sorry.

Which part of the game is this?

The special part is a lot of fun playing but i doubt that Nikki's so called boyfriend is man enough to speak that way to a mobster who he owes money to and have send Nikki to do all those things he send her to do

Will there be a compressed version of this update?
Building a crunched version is a bit of a pain in the ass right now, but I've updated SubStar with a PC and MAC Renpy file which only has the new content in it. The content is functionally identical to the full version, with the exception of MC's name being set to the default of 'Guy Harrison.'

Well, his bravado faded pretty quickly as soon as he realized Ron knew where he was. It's easy to be brave when you think you're out of reach. :D

Missed this, but yup! Risa's kind of sexually liberated enough that the footjob isn't overly important, one way or another. Next chapter will give you the chance to get on basically any path with her.

I really like how Nicki's path is unfolding on the romance route.
She is slowly coming out of her shell and its awesome to see.
Guy has more restraint than me I would want to bash Brent's head in for what he did to her.
